Please elaborate.
And while you are at it, please elaborate on the rational basis you utilize to explain why you disbelieve in: alien abductions, dowsing, crystal healing, ancient aliens, Tarot card reading, etc, etc. Assuming you disbelieve in some or all of he above, of course.
Glad to elaborate.
You see, what you just did there? "You mean that lack of: demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument, and valid and sound logic is not enough to disbelieve the god claim?" That's called a baseless assertion. Or atheist dogma. The kind of thing atheists believe on blind faith.
You see what I said in my post? "Very few of the posts I've seen here so far contain a rational basis for rejecting religion."
That was me, predicting exactly the kind of atheist fairy tales you and your ilk like to spew.
Now go ahead, substantiate your claim with reasons and evidence. Show me you're smarter than the average bear. Steal my picnic basket, Yogi.
I made no baseless assertion.
My comment is in response to the assertion made by theists, that at least one god exists.
I do not have to assert anything to defend my position. The 1000's of years of lack of demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument and valid and sound logic is all I need.
If you have anything that passes the above criteria for the god you claim exists, open a new thread and present it.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
